The correct option.

Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 1FC

The correct option is, “(b) A single force acts on the object”.

Explanation of Solution

Description:

Newton’s first law (law of inertia):

If an object is at rest, it will be at rest unless any external forces act on it.

Similarly if an object is in motion, it will be in motion with the same velocity or speed in the same direction unless any external forces act on it.

From this statement it concludes that if an object moving at constant velocity, single force cannot act on it.

Therefore, the option (b) is correct and remaining options are incorrect.

Conclusion:

Hence, the correct option is, “(b) A single force acts on the object”.

Can you help me to solve this two questions can you teach me step by step how to solve it.
Given: ruler 11.56 g, small washer 1.85 g each, large washer 24.30g each Use the data in Data Tables 4 and 5 to experimentally determine the mass of your ruler.  Use one of your 2 trials with 1 small washer at 0 cm, one of your 2 trials with 2 small washers at 0 cm, and one of your 2 trials with 3 small washers at 0 cm to find three experimental values for the mass of the ruler. How do you experimentalls determine the mass?
Compare the 3 experimental masses of your ruler to the measured mass of your ruler (Data Table 1) by calculating the percent error for each experimental value.  Which trial provided the best data for determining the mass of the ruler? Please help, I am not sure how to calculate this.  Thanks!
